The unofficial CMA Fest event is set to return to Nashville’s First Horizon Park on Monday, June 2, just days before the festival takes over downtown Music City.

The lineup for this star-studded event includes country artists Riley Green, HARDY, Tyler Hubbard, Justin Moore, and RaeLynn. Joining them on the field will be a mix of athletes and entertainers, including four-time Olympic medalist Shawn Johnson East and her husband/former NFL player Andrew East, 12-time NCAA All-American swimmer Riley Gaines, and comedians John Crist and Danae Hays.

Additionally, GRAMMY Award-winning country artist Lee Greenwood has been tapped to deliver his iconic hit, “God Bless The USA,” during the 7th Inning Stretch.

“We are thrilled to bring America’s most patriotic softball game back for a 5th year in Nashville,” said Folds of Honor Tennessee Board President Robbie Goldsmith. “We owe a major THANK YOU to the Artists, Athletes, Partners and Fans who support us to make this event bigger every year. We have some amazing names to announce and milestones to reach in 2025. We look forward to setting more fundraising records and invite you to join us in our Folds of Honor Tennessee mission. See you on June 2nd!”

These players will go head-to-head in a friendly game of softball for a good cause. Fans will have the chance to get in on the action by donating to their team of choice in the Rock ‘N Jock Challenge, where celebrity players will face off as Team Military and Team First Responders.

With the support of sponsors including Black Rifle Coffee Company, proceeds will benefit Folds of Honor Tennessee, an organization that is raising scholarship funds for America’s fallen and disabled service members and first responder’s families.

“At Black Rifle Coffee Company, service is at the center of everything we do, and we’re proud to support Folds of Honor Tennessee and the Rock ‘N Jock Celebrity Softball Tournament,” said BRCC CEO Chris Mondzelewski. “Folds of Honor-Tennessee has long been a pillar of support for service members and their families across the Volunteer State, and we’re thrilled to now be part of that. As a veteran-founded and mission-driven company, we pride ourselves on our commitment to the service community. This is our way of saying thank you to all who have served and are still serving in our armed forces, as well as their families.” 

In 2024, the Rock N’ Jock Celebrity Softball game drew over 7,500 fans to Nashville’s First Horizon Park, raising more than $436,000 for the cause. The event has previously featured celebrity guests such as Terry Bradshaw, Kane Brown, Jelly Roll, Warren Zeiders, Brian Littrell of the Backstreet Boys, Bailey Zimmerman, Chris Kirkpatrick of NSYNC, and many others.

About Folds Of Honor

Folds of Honor is a leading non-profit organization that began with Lt Col Dan Rooney’s flight home from his second tour in Iraq. As an F-16 fighter pilot in the Oklahoma Air National Guard, he experienced first-hand the sacrifices and pain military families endure when a loved one in uniform is lost or disabled while on duty.

Upon landing, the pilot announced they were carrying the remains of Corporal Brock Bucklin on board. Lt Col Rooney watched as Corporal Bucklin’s twin brother somberly escorted the flag-covered casket to meet his family on the tarmac – including the deceased Corporal’s young son, Jacob. That moment changed everything. From that moment on, Lt Col Rooney made it his mission to support the families of those who serve by providing educational scholarships through Folds of Honor.
